US EditionPrice of eggs has dropped 61% since Trump took office
- The price of white, large shell eggs in the U.S. Dropped to $2.52 per dozen by June 2025 after spiking above $8 in early March.
- This price change followed a bird flu outbreak starting in 2022 that killed nearly 170 million birds and caused significant layer losses across 10 states.
- The USDA confirmed 43 layer flock outbreaks in Arizona, California, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Washington.
- Bernt Nelson calculated that the outbreak has resulted in an average yearly loss of 42.3 million egg-laying hens, representing roughly one-tenth of the typical inventory of 383 million layers recorded over the past five years.
- Despite a slight demand improvement by Memorial Day weekend, demand remained below average, and analysts said weaker demand with fewer new bird flu cases helped cool prices.
